The Second Assistant Postmaster
General directs that Seattle shall here
after be the southern terminus of the
main Sound mail route, instead of Ia
coma as formerly. The mails will be
carried to Seattle over the Orphan
road. The InteHigencer says that this
change will lessen the pay of the pres
ent contractors, the Washington
Steamboat Co., about 81 900, the price
now being, for the service from Ia
coma to Port Townsend, $34 500 per
annum. The route, few years ago,
extended to Olympia, but the railroad,
when completed was called into requi-
sition as a carrier, and the service by
steamboat was then discontinued as
far north as Tacoma.

HOW ANIMALS PRACTICE MEDICINE.

Animals get rid of their parasites
by using dust, mud, clay, etc. Those
suffering from fever restrict their
diet, keep quiet, seek dark and airy
places, drink water, and sometimes
plunge into it.-When a dog has
lost his appetite, it eats that species
Of grass known as dog grass, which
acts as an emetic and purgative.
Cats also eat grass. Sheep and
cows when i'll seek out certain herbs.
An animal suffering from chronic
rheumatism always keeps, as far as
possible, in the sun. The warrior
ants have regularly organized ambu
lances. Lattreille cut the ancennae
of an ant, and other ants came and
covered the wounded part with a
transparent fluid secreted from their
mouths. Ii a chimpanzee be wound
ed, it stops the bleeding by placing
its hand on the wound, or dressing
it with leaves and grass. When an
animal has a leg or arm hanging on,
it completes the mputation by
means of its teeth. A dog, on be.
ing stung in the muzzle by viper,
was observed to plunge its head re
peatedly for several days into run
ming water. This animal eventual.
~ recovered. A sporting dog was
run over by carriage. During
three weeks in winter it remained
lying in a brook, where its food was
taken to it. This animal recovered.
A terrier hurt its right eye. 1t re
manned under a counter, avoid
ing light and heat, although it hab
itually kept close to the fire. II
adopted general treatment, rest
and abstinence from food. The
local treatment consisted in licking
the upper surface of the paw, which
it applied to the wounded eye; again
licking the paw when it became dry
Animals suffering from trumatit
fever treat themselves by the con
tinued application of cold, which NJ
Delaney considers to be more GER
tain than any of the other methods
In view of these interesting facts
We are, he thinks, forced to believe
that hygiene and therapeutics al
practiced by animals may. in the in
terest of psychology, be studied
with advantage.

GOOD REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE.

The Democrats of Virginia, in
convention assembled last week,
adopted platform which puts them
on sound protective tariff ground,
and indicates that free trade is los.
ing its grip in the Old Dominion.
This is good sign and we hail it
with pleasure. The Democrats of
Virginia are getting their eyes wide
open, and are beginning to see
where their party is drifting under
the Carlisle Morrison leadership.
1t is great pity that West Virgin
ia Democrats are so given over to
the folly of free trade. There are
Congressman Wilson, Congressman
Hogg, ex-Congressman Gibson, Can
didate Brannon, Congressman Sny-
der Cat times, Senator (s) Lucas and
Senator az Faulkner-all tree
traders. West Virginia has no
more use for free traders than for
Anarchists, and yet it's people are
continually misreoresented on this
great and vital issue of the day.
The Democrats of Virginia are not
going to let the "surplus scare
them back into their former free
trade heresies, for they would wipe
out the internal revenue system,
with revenues ofnearly one hundred
and twenty millions of dollars annu-
ally, and keep the tariff duties in
force. But their two resolutions

POETRY.
AN EMPTY NEST.


A grave old man and maiden fair
Walked together at early morn;
The thrushes up in the clear cool air
Sang to the farmer planting his corn.
And oh! how sweet was the fresh turned
mound
And oh how fair were the budding
trees
For daisy s silver and daffodil's gold
We're full of the happy honey bees.
j." All, look there's an empty nest" she
said
~ And wonder where sing the last
years birds ?"
Then the old man quickly raised his
head,
Though scarcely he noted her musing
words;
He tore the nest from the swaying tree.
He flung to the winds its moss and hay,
And said !" When an empty nest yo'i
Be sure that you throw it faraway."
But why 2" she asked with sorrow
ing face
''Why may not the pretty home abide?"
- Because he answered, $ twill be a
In which the worm and the slug will
hide.
Last year twas fair enough in its way
It was full of love, and merry with
song
But days that are gone must not spoil
to-day,
Nor dead joys dothe living joys wrong
The maiden heard with thoughtful
face
Her first false love had gone far away
And she thought, is my heart become 6
place t-a
For anger and grief and hate to stay
Down, heart, with thy sad, forsaken
nest
Fling far thy selfish and idle pain.
The love that is ours Is always the best
And she went with smile to her worl
again.

Experiment. in nypnetIsm.

speaking to a reporter ON the subject
Of hypnotism DIR. William A. Hammond
said: II hypnotized one man, and /
forced him to commit forgery. At my
bidding he signed my name to a bank
check. told him to cash it at the bank
"a chair, and he did so. Now you have
the money, said I, and he rammed it in
his pocket, looking all around meanwhile,
covetly and suspiciously. Suddenly /
cried 'Police' The patient instantly
darted under the table and tried to hide
himself. He turned even paler, trembled,
and evinced every sign Of extreme trepi-
dalton.
iu l"He denied strenuously at first, - con-
tinued DIR. Hammond, ''that he had been
guilty OF the crime charged him with.
I insisted that he had the money in his
pocket. At last he confessed, drew il
forth, and burst into expressions of sor-
row FOR his faux pas. All this, as ] told
you, before the New York Neurological
society--a scientific body.

ject, for he was q good one. Pinching
the Aesh on the back of his hand into a
little bunch, and telling him that he
would suffer nothing, plunged the knife
through the cone or cuticle. Not tremor
or start showed that he had experienced
pain; he did not indeed feel the blade.
Nor was he sensitive to a red hot iron
when burned the back Of his neck with
it; but when cried, Now I'll burn you,
and placed my finger ON his flesh, he
jumped and yelled and writhed as If he
was In torture. / could do anything
with that man. i gave him solution Of
aloes, and he drank it for champagne.
gave him a bottle, told him il was a baby,
and he nursed it and cooed over it.

at my house for the amusement and in
strnction of my friends. There is nothing
new In the principle Of suggestion; here's

MORE ABOUT THE TARIFF.

The Martinsturg Statesmaa is the
latest Democratic organ in the State
to rush in to the free trade argu-
ment and to howl about the evils of
a protective tariff and the beautiful
cheapness oflmported foreign manu-
featured products. As we expected,
it makes horrible mess of the whole
matter and betrays lack of knowl-
edge OF the real facts in the case
that would be amusing If it were
not evident that the Statesman is
very much IN earnest.
Unfortunately for the Statesman
its ipse DIGIT does not of itself estab.
lish the fact. We certainly are in
favor of a protective tariff, high
enough to keep foreign manufac-
turers from flooding our home mark
cts with goods manufactured by la
Dor not paid as much by from fifty
to two hundred per cent. as paid the
worklngmen in the same trades in
this country. But the Virginia
Democrats in their platform are
with us in this, and so are those of
Georgia, Pennsylvania and one or
two other States. Are these the
Democrats whom the Statesman is
bowling about? Or is that which is
a virtue in a Democrat Of the Ran
dali stripe vice in a Republican
Now will the Statesman give us one
single example of the high taxes it
complains of and illustrate the hard.
ships from which the people are suf-
fering? Will it deny that for one
dollar the American laborer can buy
more meat, more bread, more vege.
tables and produce, more butter and
eggs, ETC., than for the same money
in Europe? Will it deny that rents
and fuel, on the average are cheap
er here than in Europe? And then
will it deny that the American la
borer gets from fifty to two hundred
per cent. more of these dollars than
his fellow -laborer in Europeg Let
the Statesman descend from general.
tiles to particulars. Let's have the
facts. Give us the names Of the
"few" manufacturers here in West
Virginia who have grown fat with
abnormal rapidly"
The Statesman begs the whole
question by admitting that the Re-
publicans in Congress are united
and the Democrats divided on this
question. The way to get rid of a
surplus is not necessarily through
the channels of ruinous free trade
policy. That would unquestionably
reduce the surplus But there are
$12O,000,0G0 collected every year
from internal revenue. Why not
wipe out portion of or the entire
system And again, if the Democ
racy are divided in opinion what re
lief are the people to have from
themi The democracy have had
control Of the House of Congress
since 1876 and in all these years moi
a single measure has been passed
by that body that would meet the
demands of the Statesman. Tn the
House is where revenue, financia
and tariff legislation must originate

Statesman says they are, why DOM
